In Italian “superleggera” means “superlight” and the Gallardo Supperleggera struggled to achieve exactly that.
With a loss of some 70 kg (154 lb) this model uses carbon fibre body panels, rear difuser, undertray and rearview-mirror housings. On the inside, one can find carbon fibre on the interior door panels, the cetral tunnel and the engine cover. With a drop in weight came an increase in power, as the car received 10 more horsepower giving it a grand total of 530. This shaved 01 seconds off the acceleration time of the base Gallarado which could now do 0 to 63 mph in 3.8 seconds.
